An absentee ballot application bill that would have made new identification requirements necessary was greatly scaled back by an Indiana House committee on Thursday.

A central part of the proposed bill, known as SB 353, would require voters to show their driver’s license number on absentee ballot applications or write out the last four numbers of their Social Security number.
